I reached out to Emily in May 2021 to help me find my first home. Throughout the process, she was supportive of my learning and questions. On our visits to houses, Emily consistently pointed things out to me about the home that I wouldn’t have known to look for or would have noticed without her. My search took just over three months, nearly every weekend, and several offers before finding a house the truly checked all my major boxes, and even had some wants rather than needs (including my additional half bath and garage!!), and it felt attainable. Emily and I both knew we needed to make an offer right away! In the end, the timing worked out, and now, 7 months later, I love my house and feel so lucky to have gotten it when I did. More personally, Emily is friendly and funny, and she has a knack in developing an easy and trusting relationship. I felt like I could ask Emily all the newbie questions, and she never responded as if I should already know (even with things I should have know before buying a house). She was easily and readily available to me even though last summer had to have been crazy for her. I recommend Emily to anyone looking for someone that is conscientious, hardworking, and knowledgeable in the field. I so appreciate Emily’s help and support in finding my first home and look forward to referring her to friends and family when they are ready.

As first-time homebuyers in a hot Seattle market, we are so grateful for Emily. We didn’t exactly know what we wanted at first, but she patiently took the time to listen to our needs and tour probably over 30 homes with us all over the city. She never pressured us to move and always gave an honest, detailed, and unbiased opinion of the market and houses that we saw. Viewing homes with her was actually quite a joy! Since we were home-buying novices, she helped guide us through the whole process - meeting with us several times to rehash home tours, talk through the details of putting in an offer, and discuss in detail the inspection reports of homes we were interested in. When it was time to put in an offer letter, Emily helped us construct the most competitive offer that literally helped us get our house. She clearly loves her job and you would be lucky to have Emily as your realtor!

We worked with Emily during the summer of 2020 to sell our condo. Everything went so smoothly and with her expertise and guidance, we received and accepted on offer within 72 hours of our condo being listed. With as crazy as the current real estate market has been, Emily’s knowledge and professionalism kept us on track and her communication is second to none - seriously, the best communication skills we’ve ever experienced. She follows up, follows through, always closes the loop and you are never left to wonder what is going on. Her demeanor is very calm and collected. We tend to be a bit anxious by nature and she is very good at helping keep our nerves in check and making us feel assured. Emily is always prepared, punctual and professional. We will definitely contact her next time we are ready to move and would recommend her in a heartbeat!

I am beyond grateful that Emily was my broker. She is a wonderful advocate. I truly felt that she was looking after my best interests just as she would for her own parents. It is rare to interact with someone who is an empathetic listener and intuitively gives the perfect feedback. She helped me have confidence in my decision making process. Not only is she intelligent, kind and a hard worker; her real estate expertise, knowledge of the area and ability to observe details is invaluable. In the final days, I was very impressed that her keen eye saw what needed to be fixed or negotiated down in price before final papers were signed. Because of her, the price was brought down and the owner fixed small, but necessary items. On top of all that, Emily is fun and a joy to be around!

Emily is a native Seattleite with deep knowledge of the city and surrounding suburbs - her breadth of familiarity with different areas allowed us to discover (and fall in love with) a neighborhood and house we might have otherwise overlooked. As first time home buyers, she helped navigate and educate us on the process every step of the way. Emily is quick to respond, even to the little stuff! Her calm and professional demeanor was a delight to have on our side, particularly during a process that was new to us and met with the additional challenges of navigating a real estate purchase in a pandemic. Can't recommend Emily enough to new and seasoned buyers! She'll be sure to find the home you always dreamed of.

Emily helped us first time home buyers navigate an uncertain time in real estate with COVID to find a townhome that fit our needs perfectly. Looking back on when we bought, most everything she predicted about the Seattle area market came true. Emily was extremely responsive to our requests and questions, constantly sending us new properties she thought we'd be interested in before we found them on our own. When it came time to put in an offer, she assisted heavily and talked us through strategy, ultimately having our offer accepted under asking price for a home that was on the market less than a week. From others we have spoken to, this is not the norm. Couldn't be happier working with Emily!

Emily was great with us. We moved to Puget Sound from out of state and didn't know the area at all. Emily toured us around and was very honest with her opinions of different areas and different homes we looked at. She even went to houses when we weren't able and video toured us through them. Ultimately, she helped us find a place we loved, got us the pre-approval we needed quickly, and helped us craft an offer that landed us the property. Beyond being a very capable realtor she is a genuinely nice person. She made friends with our 5 year old daughter to the point where our daughter was disappointed when spending time touring houses with Emily wasn't the weekend plan. Thanks Emily!

I cannot speak highly enough of Emily! As a first time homebuyer I needed so much handholding and reassurance, but Emily was always there with a smile and thorough guidance. She went above and beyond to make the entire process from start to finish stress free and even enjoyable. I am constantly impressed by her candor, communication, and authenticity. My whole family agrees that Emily treats her clients like they are old friends even from that first meeting, and we've all come to regard Emily as a most trusted advisor. There is no other advocate and real estate champion I'd rather have in my corner! I cannot thank her enough for her hard work and commitment.

Choosing Emily as our real estate agent was truly one of the best decisions we made. Throughout our home-buying journey, she was incredibly responsive and consistently reassuring. Our situation was a bit unique, and more complex than most, but Emily and her team handled everything with professionalism and ease. From our first day of house hunting to the moment we held the keys to our new home, Emily was by our side. Her dedication was evident in every step. We are so grateful and feel fortunate to have had her guidance. As we look to the future, we're confident in saying we'll choose Emily again for our next home journey. Thank you, Emily.

Emily is an outstanding real estate agent -- knowledgeable, easy-going, and a pleasure to work with. She helped us prepare our home for sale, recommending updates and painting projects where necessary. With Emily’s guidance, our home was beautifully presented, competitively priced, and sold in less than a week with multiple offers! And it's not the first time our family has worked with her. Last year, Emily sold our daughter and son in law's Seattle home within a week and at asking price. She also helped us find and purchase the large, multi-generational home we now own and love. In our view, Emily is simply the best agent out there!

Emily did an excellent job in the process of finding and buying our new home, and helped every step of the process. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to find a home in the Seattle area. In addition, she helped us sell our previous home in Beacon Hill quickly and effectively during an extremely uncertain time (covid-19). Completing just one of these tasks would have been impressive, but she was able to get both done with her versatility and supportive cast from Compass and the many others she works with. Thank you!

Emily Shepodd is one of the best and most professional realtors my wife and I have worked with over many decades of buying and selling properties. She is extremely knowledgeable, conscientious and hard working. She is an excellent listener and is honest and open in her feedback. She helped us find just the right inspector and to work through an issue with the title company regarding a property boundary. Emily is a kind and wonderful person too. I recommend her without any reservations.

Emily was amazing to work with on my first home purchase! I wasn't sure what exactly I was looking for when we started my search and she was very thoughtful & thorough when putting together options for us to look at. She made sure that I had all of the information that I needed when I expressed interest in making an offer and handled the negotiations without any stress to me. Emily acts as a true partner with her clients and I highly recommend her!

Emily was an outstanding guide for our 8-month journey in finding our perfect home. She was exceptionally communicative, extremely available when we wanted to check out a new place or needed a pep-talk. She's continued her great work by giving us wonderful referrals for home contractors. If you're looking for a highly skilled realtor who knows the area and is willing to go the extra mile for you, we highly recommend Emily as your future realtor.

As we navigated home buying for the first time, Emily supported us every step of the way and made the process enjoyable. From start to finish, she answered all of our questions...and not just sufficiently, but in a thoughtful and digestible way to help us understand all the nuances. Emily is professional, warm, and fights for her clients. We ended up with a beautiful and practical home we love, and credit much of that to working with Emily.

I feel extremely lucky and privileged working with Emily. I cannot imagine how I could have purchased my first home without her help! Not only that she responded my inquires with great pace and patience, she guided me in all aspects of the home buying starting from the very basics, the search, negotiating and closing. It was a pleasure to work with her and I highly recommend Emily for anyone looking for buying their new home.

We had such a great experience working with Emily to buy our vacation condo in Seattle! We were only in the area sporadically, but we could always count on Emily to make time to do showings with us, even at the last minute! Emily provides excellent context on neighborhoods and the market, and we loved her informed, no-hard-sell approach! We will be recommending Emily to all of our friends and family in the Seattle area!!

Emily Shepodd is literally the best! I am so grateful we found her before the purchase of our third and most competitive home! She is smart, efficient and takes the time to understand your needs and what your are looking for. Her professionalism was very appreciated but she was also a lot of fun to tour houses with. Her expert ability to negotiate is completely the reason we were able to get the house we did!

Emily was a pleasure to work with as I sought to buy my first home. She was extremely thoughtful and patient, teaching me a lot about the process and ensuring that I was supported every step of the way. From touring homes to the closing day, I knew I could count on Emily to help me navigate!

Emily was amazing. Flexible, prompt and insightful. Despite a stressful market, the process was smooth and seamless and that is all thanks to Emily. Couldn't have asked for a better partner in the buying process.

Working with Emily was amazing! She is responsive, professional, and kind. We felt lucky to have her as our agent and are grateful for all her guidance through the home buying process
